The MountainTop: Wikispaces for Veena
http://themememe.blogspot.com/2007/06/wikispaces-for-veena.html
Wednesday, June 13, 2007. Ever since I heard about this. She brought to life several compositions that existed only as notations in my mind. When I listen to her render Dikshitar's compositions in ragas Navroj or Neelambari I have a feeling that this was how the composer intended it to be.The way she weaves vocal and veena alternating with the right stuff to be highlighted is remarkable. Now I recently had an opportunity to work on making a Wikispaces for the Veena. Http:/ www.smplace.com/forum/.

The MountainTop: Meeting of Minds
http://themememe.blogspot.com/2007/06/meeting-of-minds.html
Saturday, June 23, 2007. I read this poem of Herman Hesse today. It reminded me of Bharatiyar's poem titled ,. He asks if all that stands, moves and flies is but an illusion. And a mere illusion. This is Hesse's poem.Today I might not identify much with a lot of Hesse's writings in terms of its inherent soft-spirituality but there is him in an old world aesthete, a certain characteristic at once German and still unGerman that still appeals to me. Is this everything now,. The quick delusions of flowers,.

The MountainTop: Short and Long of Dress Codes
http://themememe.blogspot.com/2007/06/short-and-long-of-dress-codes.html
Wednesday, June 27, 2007. Short and Long of Dress Codes. Guessing that this was how bars had uniforms for their female employees, I left. And yes, the lunch was quick which was besides the point. My head seemed to scream "Discrimination" through every nerve cell .I am not interested in the argument, "Well they wear it what is your problem? Even today time and again Anna University or Some medical college or Fake Kurta Clad Intellectuals stirs up this women-dress/culture issue. I am surprised that. Be it ...

The MountainTop: Making Allies of Ragas
http://themememe.blogspot.com/2007/06/making-allies-of-ragas.html
Sunday, June 3, 2007. Making Allies of Ragas. A recent revisit of two compositions of Dikshitar in Darbar.There is more to this raga than meets the eyeapart from the obviously stated and restated issue that this raga in the South Indian system as an allied raga to Nayaki.There is even a standing joke attributed to various musicians that when someone told them that their Darbar had traces of Nayaki, the musician retorted saying that 'A Darbar (court) ought to have a Nayaki'.

The MountainTop: A Worker Reads History
http://themememe.blogspot.com/2007/06/worker-reads-history.html
Saturday, June 9, 2007. A Worker Reads History. And the architectural marvel, on the other I could not but wonder about the dynamics of temple construction. I do understand that it provided some kind of livelihood. But Who were the thousands of workers who were commissioned for this? How did they agree to it? Were they compensated enough? Were they slaves and refugees of war who did not have an option but to pander to the ego of a king? A Worker Reads History. Who built the seven gates of Thebes?
